Nutritional Yeast

I've been wanting to branch out lately and try some recipes using nutritional yeast.....I saw a yummy macaroni and cheese recipe that I want to try. That is the one thing my kids really miss since going casein free a couple of years ago.

The only brand I can find at the health food stores though is Red Star, which is manufactured on the same lines as wheat products. My dd is super sensitive, so I can't take the chance. Does anyone know of any other brands that are gluten free? My google search kept showing Red Star, but are there any others?? Thanks!

While I don't have an answer to your specific question, I do know that there are recipes for cashew cheese which don't call for any yeast products at all. Have you tried one of these?

Here's one which I'm planning to try one of these days:

Cashew Cheese:

- 190 grams (1 1/2 cups) plain cashew nuts (not roasted or salted)

- 60 to 80 ml (1/4 to 1/3 cup) water

- 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice or good vinegar

- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced

- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

- freshly ground pepper

Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

Place the nuts in a salad bowl, cover with fresh water, and let stand for 2 hours.

Drain the nuts and place them in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Add 60 ml (1/4 cup) water and the rest of the ingredients, and mix until thoroughly pur

I use Gayelord Hauser's "Imported Brewers Yeast". It says "Gluten Free" on the back in tiny letters right above the nutritional info. They sell it at health food stores. It's made by Modern Products, Inc. Mequon, WI. www.modernfearn.com

According to their label, it is grown on beet molasses. It's great!

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to let people know that Bob's Red Mill make safe nutritional yeast. I came looking to see if I can eat it at all and not only can I, but I "heart" Bob's Red Mill!

There's also Bragg's Nutritional Yeast.

 

What confuses me is whether nutritional yeast is a healthy/safe product. I've been reading that it may be similar to monosodium glutamate, which we know is not a healthy food additive (and yet it still is used a lot!)

 

Does anyone know whether nutritional yeast is a good choice as a "cheese-free" topping? We've been using it recently on top of pasta, and we all like it. I use a mixture of half nutritional yeast and half nuts (pecans or walnuts are top choices).

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
